3) What is a Chromosome?

  • Chromosomes are thread-like structures in which DNA molecules are packaged within. 
   
How many genes are in a chromosome? 

  • There are about hundred to thousand genes in a chromosome.

How many Chromosomes do humans have? 

  • Each human has 23 chromosomes from one parent and 23 from the other making a total of 46 chromosomes.

What is a genome?

  • A genome is an organism's set of DNA. Genomes are inside of cells that have a nucleus.

2) What is a Gene?

  •  A gene is a a string of nucleotides that code for a protein.

How many Nucleotides are in a gene?

  • Since genes vary in sizes the amount of nucleotide pairs also vary too. It can be anywhere from a few thousand to over a million pairs
 
What is the difference between coding DNA and non coding DNA? 






What percent of your DNA is coding vs. Non-Coding?

  • About 1 percent of your DNA is coding and the other 99 percent is noncoding.
